Instagram will now let users add three more people to their live sessions with its new feature, Live Rooms. The Live feature on Instagram gives users a way to go live, create and connect virtually, and hence has seen diverse use cases this year.
For example, multiple Instagram users used the feature to interact and hold interviews and podcasts while broadcasting them in the backdrop of the pandemic. Instagram noted that Live views in India grew 60 percent on a week-on-week basis in March.
With the new Live Rooms, a feature now rolling out for its Indian users, Instagram notes that it will give creators more opportunities have conversations with their communities, and to expand their reach and use cases for Live, such as starting a talk show or a podcast, hosting a jam session or co-creating with other artists, leading to more engaging Q and As with those they are going Live with, or simply hanging out with friends. Instagram noted that the rollout for the new feature has begun and it will soon be available to users throughout India and Indonesia.
Ajit Mohan, Vice President and Managing Director, Facebook India, in a statement said, "Creators are at the forefront of pushing culture and creativity on Instagram and we’re constantly innovating to help them express themselves better. This year in particular has seen extensive use of Live, and as physical distancing norms continue, Live will remain an invaluable feature to bring friends, families and audiences together, and foster meaningful conversations. From the launch of Reels to the testing and rollout of Live Rooms, India is playing a crucial role in the way products are being designed for the future."
Instagram noted that it tested 'Live Rooms' took place with a few creators in India like Shereen Bharwani, Manav Chhabra and Rohina Anand Khira.
